Biography
Jedah Dohma (Japanese: ジェダ・ドーマ Hepburn: Jeda Dōma) was a male demon native to the realm of Makai where he was born over 6000 years ago when he came to be the youngest of the three high nobles of Makai.
A shrewd and well-spoken nobleman, he came to fear for the fate of his demonic realm as he believed it would fall into ruin if it continued under the reign of Belial Aensland. Thus, he awaited the perfect opportunity to assassinate him. After the fall of Galnon, the master of the Voshtal family and the oldest of the three high nobles, Jedah gained a confidante in a soul-eater named Ozomu. As a noble, his skills were second class, but his ability to trick others and plan tactics was first class, as he was a genius in tactics. Ozomu advised Jedah about using the gate of Makai. Jedah, being confident in his ability to absorb souls, agreed to this, telling Ozomu to break part of the seal to open the gate wider. When Ozomu arrived at the gate, he felt the enormous power that lay within it. He realized that even Jedah would destroy himself if he absorbed all this power at once, and saw this as his chance to take over the throne and the himself. He tricked Jedah and told him that he must destroy all the seals because of the little energy that was coming out. After destroying the seals, he ran off to the far reaches of Makai. The fall of Jedah meant his rise in power and the success of his plan. Though Jedah's power was greater than Ozomu predicted, he was still destroyed due to the sheer amount of power that was coming out. Ozomu gathered the remaining power and stored it in the Dohma Castle, becoming the new master of the Dohma family: Emperor Ozomu and calling his kingdom Castle Ozomu.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Jedah was very cool, collected and confident. He has a degree of arrogance, but as a whole, he is focused and patient, all for achieving his goal of saving Makai from a destiny seen by Belial. It is rare to see Jedah express emotion, except in fits of insanity. But even these are subdued by his own calm attitude eventually. In some reference artwork when he is in a rare extreme fit of rage, his face will deform into a skull-like angry face. He is often misinterpreted as someone who is pure evil and only wants full power all for himself. But he is actually an extremely morally gray villain who does not believe in the concept of good and evil and his goal does not focus on either or and only what he sees as the way things should be. While he doesn't believe in good in evil he does have a concept of chaos and order and he wants to end all chaos in Makai. While certainly insane and even sadistic at times, he is far from a selfish and power hungry tyrannical ruler. He believes that it is wrong to rule as king or lord and making people kneel for them, seen in his discussion as a special fight against Anakaris, and that he thinks what a lord or king should do instead is make your people become a part of you.

He can even decapitate himself or mutilate any of his body parts without suffering any ill-effects and can regenerate his body parts from these wounds. He is fond of contorting his wings into weapons, such as forming them into spinning blades and scythes or use them as shields.
